Zotefoams PLC on Thursday said it signed an agreement with Kennon Products to supply its Zotek F high-performance foam for use in medical facility doors. Zotefoams is a Croydon, England-based cellular material technology producer. Kennon is a Wyoming, US-based manufacturing service operating in the aviation and behavioural health sectors. Zotek F foam will be used in Kennon’s newest ligature-resistant patient safety door, Kennon Door 2.0, which is used in medical facilities to protect patients against self-harm. The company said: ‘The softness of Zotek F and its light weight combine with breakaway magnetic hinges to save lives, as do its resistance to flame and - in the event of ignition - low smoke output.’ Commenting on the agreement, Chief Executive Officer David Stirling said: ‘We were pleased to work closely with Kennon on this project, selecting and testing various Zotek F materials, while providing support and insight based on our previous experience of aviation applications and flame testing. ‘This application has produced another ’first’ for Zotek F and demonstrates the potential of the material to deliver benefits well beyond its current core markets of aviation and aerospace.’ Shares in Zotefoams were up 2.7% at 381.00 pence each in London on Thursday afternoon.
